Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Being in peaceful surroundings out in the sticks, with 1 nice little view for miles through the trees! Relaxing for me & the wife with no busy tourists
Disliked: The massive flies because it was a beautiful hot day but that’s not your fault, it’s because we camp in fields! 🤣

Liked: I had an amazing week camping at Golden Hill! It's a really pretty spot, far enough from town to feel remote, but close enough to have plenty to do nearby. The firepits work great, and you get a decent amount of wood in a bag. Lots of fun cooking over the flames and toasting marshmallows! They also have the single most luxurious long drop facility ever, which they keep nice and clean. Celi and Reyna are super friendly and made me feel so welcome and at home. They even invited me to join in their spoon carving workshop, and I learnt heaps of new techniques and got to make a spoon! Plus bonus cute smiles from their little one :) I came home feeling happy :)
Disliked: Well, I was definitely glad to get home to a nice hot shower, but that's exactly as advertised - I knew what I was getting into!

Liked: Exactly as described. A tiny 'back to basics' site. Small and friendly. Beautiful setting. If you want to genuinely get away from everything then this is the place to do it. No distractions, just surrounded by countryside. Almost wild camping!

From the manager: Hello, thanks so much for pointing out the gate issue - we’ve added an easier latch so hopefully that’s now resolved!👍
Lovely site with clean facilities and space for children to explore.

Liked: Quiet location but still close enough to head out to do some bike trails at the Forest of Dean for the day. Very welcoming hosts. Great space for kids to play. Such a lovely site! Will definitely be back.
